2008 INTERNATIONAL REMEMBRANCE FLAME

Міжнароднa Незгасима Свічка

The Remembrance Flame began its journey across Canada in Toronto, Ontario on April 18. The National Launch took place immediately prior to the opening of the exhibit Holodomor: Genocide by Famine at Toronto’s City Hall.

Canadian events titled “Keep the Flame Alive” were designed to remember the victims of the Holodomor while ensuring that the story is transferred from generation to generation, from Holodomor survivors to the youth. Commemorative programs emphasized the importance of sharing facts about the Holodomor with Canadians and continuing the awareness campaign going forward thus helping to ensure that similar atrocities are never repeated.
